Hi Junxiao,

could you please allocate a "ContentType" that I can use for the manifests
I have implemented?

The manifest format is called FLIC and is described in
https://github.com/tschudin/icn-flic-rfc/blob/master/draft-tschudin-icnrg-flic-00.txt

Here is a prototypical packet layout (assuming that the ContentType number
would be 0xC0):

   (Data/0x6
     (Name/0x7 ...)
     (MetaInfo/0x14
       (ContentType/0x18 0xC0)
     )
     (Content/0x15
       (HashGroup/0xC1
         (MetaData/0xC4
           (LocatorNm/0xC5 (NameComp/0x8 ...))
           (BlockSize/0xC7 INT)
           (TotalSize/0xC8 INT)
           (TotalHash/0xC9 OCTET[32])
         )
         (DataPtr/0xC2 OCTET[32])
         (MfstPtr/0xC3 OCTET[32])
       )
     )
     (SignatureInfo/0x16 ...)
     (SignatureValue/0x17 ...)
   )

An annex question is which type numbers I should use for the
"content-internal TLVs", marked 0xC1 etc (because of NDN's global type
policy). Should I also register them with you?

I will report back on experiments regarding FLIC transport over the NDN
testbed.

Thanks! And best regards,
christian
